Abstract

Objectives: To identify the importance of preventing tuberculosis for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infectees and to monitor their management of health, we investigated the proportion of HIV-TB (Tuberculosis) deaths among the HIV deaths and its related factors. Methods: Data for HIV deaths from 2002 to 2010 was acquired from Statistics Korea, after which the HIV deaths were reclassified into HIV-TB deaths or other deaths according to the KCD (Korean Classification of Diseases). We analyzed the proportion of HIV-TB deaths among HIV disease deaths and the relationship between HIV-TB deaths and related variables such as sex, age, educational level, marital status, etc. Results: There were 774 HIV deaths in South Korea between 2002 and 2010. TB was the main cause of death in 10.1% of all HIV deaths. The total proportion of HIV-TB deaths was 10.1% but its proportion reached 16.3% between 2005-2007 and then decreased to 4% in 2010. Also, the proportion of HIV-TB deaths was significantly high in the young age groups, but its proportion was significantly low in married groups and well educated groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: The result implies that the policy that takes care of HIV infectee regarding TB prevention has been getting systemized on a national scale. Also, HIV-TB deaths have been affected by social factors such as education and marriage status.

본 연구는 HIV병 사망자 중 HIV병과 결핵이 동반사망한 분율을 조사하고 그 관련 요인을 분석하였다. 2002년부터 2010년까지 사이에 HIV병 사망자는 모두 774명으로 결핵이 동반사망한 분율은 10.1%로 나타났다. 그런데 이러한 분율은 2005년부터 2007년 사이에 16.3%까지 치솟았지만 2008년부터 2010년 사이에는 4%까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율은 젊은 계층에서 더 높았고 배우자가 있는 그룹과 교육을 잘 받은 그룹에서는 유의하게 낮은 경향을 보였다. 이처럼 활동성이 높은 젊은층에서 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 높고 사회경제적 안정계층에서 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 낮은 것은 비슷한 해외 연구에서도 유사하게 나타나고 있어 HIV-결핵 동반사망의 예방 가능성을 시사한다. 한국은 다행히 점차 HIV-결핵 동반사망 분율이 낮아지고 있어 HIV감염자에 대한 결핵 예방사업의 효과가 나타나고 있음을 시사하고 이후 이러한 지표의 지속적인 모니터링이 필요함을 보여주고 있다.
